Top Ten Tuesday: Anticipated 2019 Book-to-Film Adaptations (& A Few I Missed)


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book blog meme now hosted by Jana over at The Artsy Reader Girl!

This week's topic is: Book-to-Film Adaptations

There are so many different interpretations for this topic, so it was hard to decide what direction to take! In the end, I kept it simple and decided to feature a small handful of 2019 adaptations I'm looking forward to, as well as another small handful of 2018-2019 adaptations I still need to catch up on.

  3. Some of these look so fun! I watched the trailers for The House With the Clock in its Walls. I need to see it. I watched The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. We rented it On Demand before the Super Bowl, Not to talk you our of watching it but it's not one that I would buy or pay more than like $7 to watch it. It was cute but not ground breaking or anything. My TTT-https://paigesofbook.blogspot.com/2019/05/top-ten-tuesday-books-to-films-that-i.html
